User permissions to add another user to a project role

Stuart Grimshaw2

We've recently upgraded from Jira 4.2 to Jira 4.4 and one of our project leads can no longer add people to the various roles for his projects.

In the new roles screen on the project, when he tries to add a new user he just gets the message

No Matches

As the system administrator I can still do it.

What is the permission I need to be able to add people to his project.

Hi Stuart,

This permission to search for users is granted on Jira Global Permissions adding your users or a group in the Browse Users permission.

Browse Users: Ability to select a user or group from a popup window. Users with this permission will be able to see names of all users and groups in the system.

Follow the steps below to set the permission:

Go to administration -> Users tab next to Plugins -> select Global Permissions -> add a group or specific users on the Browse Users permission;

I hope it helps you.
